Amayea Maat, Chief Inspiration Officer, Growth Peaks | The Jeff Crilley Show

Most people get promoted because they're great at their job—not because anyone taught them how to lead. Amayea Maat has spent years coaching leaders inside Fortune 100 companies and entrepreneurial startups alike, and she's tired of the sanitized leadership advice that fills most bookshelves.Amayea is the Owner and Chief Inspiration Officer of Growth Peaks and author of the just-released Leadership: The S Bomb That They Don't Tell You. She joins Jeff Crilley to talk about what actually goes wrong when new leaders take the reins without training, why the old "my way or the highway" approach fails across every generation, and how situational leadership—understanding your people's language instead of your own—changes everything.They also get into imposter syndrome (especially for Gen Z leaders managing people twice their age), a real coaching case where Amayea helped an IT entrepreneur unstick his business and sell it successfully, and why even brilliant founders have to admit what they're bad at and let go. Plus, Jerry Jones gets some unsolicited leadership advice.Learn more at growthpeaks.net
